As we say “Nos vemos, Verano” (so long, summer), we contemplate new excuses to explore the tasty territory just south of San Diego. Luckily there’s the Baja Culinary Fest. This second annual affair, held throughout the northern peninsula, happens Oct. 11-14.

Other highlights include the Tijuana Food Fest ($10); a sailing trip in Ensenada Bay; a tour of Cava de Marcelo’s cheese cellar; a seafood tostada-munching side trip to La Guerrerense, the street cart that made Newsweek’s “Top 101 Places to Eat in the World.” The Baja Culinary Fest also overflows with wines produced in the region.
